The NFL entered its second week of play this past weekend and unfortunately for fans, there was a multitude of injuries that piled up, potentially ruining the season for some teams.

Injuries are a part of the game, but when so many happen at one time, it isn’t coincidence. The preseason is one of the most valuable assets a coach has on any level. Every year there is turnover on a football team, no exceptions, so when a new batch of players rolls in, coaches need to be able to evaluate players by more than just practicing.
